**Ingredients:**
– 1 pound ground beef
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 carrot, diced
– 1 celery stalk, diced
– 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
– 1/2 cup beef broth
– 1/2 cup red wine
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon dried basil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 pound spaghetti
– Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
**Instructions:**
1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
2. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrot, and diced celery to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, and red wine. Stir in the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
4. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for about 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally. This slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
5. While the sauce is simmering, cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Remember to salt the pasta water for extra flavor.
6. Drain the cooked spaghetti and add it to the pot of Bolognese sauce. Toss the pasta in the sauce until evenly coated.
7. Serve the Original Pasta Bolognese hot, with a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top. This dish pairs deliciously with a side of garlic bread or a fresh green salad.
